Smolov Jr. – 531 Excel Spreadsheet

By

Mogwoggle on reddit  put together a really nice spreadsheet that combines the Smolov Jr. and  5/3/1 into one program.

I put together a spreadsheet (based off of MEatRHIT’s original Workout2.xls file) that incorporates both of these, with a light bench that allows to test a 1RM on the deload week. OHP also shows up on deload week, in case you wanted to give it a go as well.

If you are not familiar with the Smolov JR. system, it looks like the following.

    What I want to know is why this site isn't flooded with user comments? Thank you very much all the great work you're doing and all the best to you and yours!

    Thanks for the kind words Ahmed.

    Regarding the comments (or the lack there off) I think it is because 1) I have not encouraged it much and 2) the majority of pasts are fact based and not controversial. People come here for information and (hopefully find it) and don't see the need to comment.

    Yea I was just advocating ppl pay some respect and admiration for the work you provide lol. While I'd love to see some discussion and what would be a community helping each other train optimally, you have great a model here because in alot of sites you'll have ludicrous comments which stray from the topic and every now and then some naysayers spewing misinformation lol. I can't say it enough tho thank you and if you don't mind you mite be seeing a few posts frm me every now and then lol take care and all the best.

      Thanks for letting me know. Fixed the link.

      Luckily I did make a copy of the spreadsheet.

    I think you are correct. Though on a second look I am a bit confused too about the advancing Dates in each column. But I would go with the way you described it.

    As for the MP… Maybe it’s just to make sure it didn’t suffer too much.
    Personally, I find that Benching doesn’t help my MP all that much.
